tour de france magazine
What do you think of comments made by times magazine?

When Sachin Tendulkar travelled to Pakistan to face one of the finest bowling attacks ever assembled in cricket, Michael Schumacher was yet to race a F1 car, Lance Armstrong had never been to the Tour de France, Diego Maradona was still the captain of a world champion Argentina team, Pete Sampras had never won a Grand Slam.

When Tendulkar embarked on a glorious career taming Imran and company, Roger Federer was a name unheard of; Lionel Messi was in his nappies, Usain Bolt was an unknown kid in the Jamaican backwaters. The Berlin Wall was still intact, USSR was one big, big country, Dr Manmohan Singh was yet to “open” the Nehruvian economy.

It seems while Time was having his toll on every individual on the face of this planet, he excused one man. Time stands frozen in front of Sachin Tendulkar. We have had champions, we have had legends, but we have never had a Sachin Tendulkar and we never will.

He is fabulous, I don’t think he is any less than bradman now.

tour de france performance enhancing drugs

tour de france performance enhancing drugs
So, did Lance Armstrong cheat and take performance-Enhancing drugs? Is that why he won so many Tour de France?

do all pro athletes, in every sport imaginable, cheat? It seems like it.

I will take Gubmint and Foremost to task.
1-We said the same thing about Landis – remember? And, he trained with Lance. And, Lance stood there and said the Europeans and cycling community were singling himself and Landis because they were Americans. Like Canseco – one of the cycling Bash Brothers has fallen.

2-Read up on Greg Lemond. He was the premier US cyclist from the mid 80’s to mid 90’s. He won the tour 3 times in 5 years. The second two times after being accidentally shot. He has adamently stood by the statement that Landis and Armstrong have been doping. Further, he points out that Lance Armstrong has worked with Doctor Michele Ferrari. The same doctor who admitted doping other cyclists champion cyclists in the mid 1980’s – 1990’s. After years of shinning the light on Landis and Armstrong, Landis has finally caved in. Sooner or later, Armstrong will next. Lemond is the true greatest American cyclist. He is the modern day Hank Aaron and Lance is Barry Bonds.

Armstrong Would Be Biggest Fraud of All
